Jacob Stolzenburg 3/5/18 Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. The theme of this play is love. The character I choose is Friar Lawrence. The main cause of Romeo and Juliet death is from Friar interfering. Do to him trying to cause happiness he caused grief.
Although Friar Laurence was just trying to help the couple, Friar Laurence’s misguided advice and impulsive decisions is what led to Romeo’s death. Many other characters contributed to Romeo’s death, it was Friar Laurence’s plan that primarily led to Romeo’s death. Firstly, Friar Laurence's decision to marry Romeo and Juliet in secret initiated a chain of events that ultimately led to their tragic end. In Act II, Scene 3, Romeo sought the Friar's help to marry Juliet, despite their families' enmity.
Romeo and Juliet A feud is a state of prolonged mutual hostility, typically between two families or communities, characterized by violent assaults in revenge for previous injuries. Two families, Capulet’s and Montague’s. These two families had high status, and were very similar in formality. Both families did not like one another, but both had a common factor, Friar Laurence.
Love resembles a fire, difficult to start, easy to set off, throughout Romeo and Juliet's journey, Friar Laurence is the water, setting off their love with the worst decisions he could possibly make. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, occurs many different scenes portraying the story of two star-crossed lovers, hence the name, to their lamentable death. But throughout this whole play, Friar Laurence was easily the magnet for the most chaos between their love, making very unintelligent decisions that lead to their death. Although Friar Laurence seems very helpful, he easily proves to cause the most disorder causing the inevitable death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence admits countless times he couldn't help Romeo with his love affair, but the main problem was improper plan making, which lacks a large extent of time and thought.
At the end of the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo drank poison which killed him and Juliet woke up to see Romeo dead next to her, after words she killed herself with a dagger. So who is to blame for the death of romeo and Juliet? I think Friar Laurence is to blame. This is because he gave Juliet the sleeping potion. He also failed to tell romeo about his plan.
Everytime something happens whether it's a crime or an idea someone is always held accountable for it. For instance In the Tragic play is "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakesphere¨.Besides all other characters that could be held liable like The Nurse,Romeo,Tybalt and Juliet. One character held most reponsable for the events leading to Romeo and Juliet's death is Friar Lawrence. During the first half of the play Friar Lawrence is reliable for the deaths because he agreed and wanted to get Romeo and Juliet married without the Montagues or Capulets knowing. For example Friar Lawrence says In (Act ii scene iii Line 90-93)
There are many people in “ Romeo and Juliet” who attributed to their deaths First, friar Lawrence was the mastermind who made all the plans, but didn’t work, the second person was Juliet because she made wrong choices, the third person was Lord Capulet by making Juliet make mistakes. Therefore Friar Lawrence, Juliet, and Lord Capulet all attributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
In this paper, I am going to further explain my three reasons. To begin with, I think Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet ’s death because he married Romeo and Juliet together thinking it would end their families’ feud. “To turn your households’ rancor to pure love” (Romeo and Juliet 2.3.93) If they hadn’t been married, that may have changed a lot of the decisions that
Though it can be argued that Romeo is the main cause of Romeo and Juliet's death, Friar Lawrence could also be at fault for this tragedy because of his recklessness and involvement. However, Friar Lawrence ultimately is not the main cause of their deaths because it was Romeo's irrational thinking that got him and Juliet killed. Romeo makes many bad decisions that lead to his death. He kills Tybalt which results in him being banned from Verona. This results in him not knowing about the plan.
In the tomb he says, “Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; come, go, good Juliet. I dare not stay longer. ”(5.3.158-159). Instead of staying with her, he was afraid of the consequence if he was caught there, so he fled and soon after he fled Juliet sacrificed herself to be with Romeo. If Friar Lawrence had stayed with Juliet and not have been scared over the consequence, Juliet could have
How you ever wondered who the biggest influence on Romeo and Juliet’s death was? I think this is a question that everyone thinks of while reading the play. William Shakespeare wrote a very well-known play which is called “Romeo and Juliet”. This play is about two young teenagers who fall in love at first sight, but they aren’t compatible. They have an ancient family feud between their families which causes them to go through many obstacles.
As a reader progresses though William shake spears work the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, he will notice a love story unfold. Toward the end of the love story Romeo and Juliet die. Who is responsible for there deaths. Frair Lawrence is responsible because he performed a secret wedding, created a secret sleeping potion and failed to successfully execute a secret plan. It was friar Lawrence 's duty as priest to have informed both families about the marriage of their children rather than performing the wedding in Secret.
People might think Friar Laurence is to blame, such as in the article “Romeo and Juliet” by Dr. Jennifer Minter. In this article there is a part labeled “The Ill-hatched Plan”, it talks about the plan that Friar Laurence came up with. The article mentions, “Friar Lawrence instigates the dangerous plan that has disastrous consequences.” The plan that is being talked about is the one that is made to get Juliet out of marrying Paris and to Mantua to be with Romeo. Yes, Friar Laurence did come up with the this idea, but when Romeo found out about Juliet’s death from Balthasar he could have thought first to go to Friar Laurence and asked him if he knew why it happened.
“And this distilled liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run. A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse,” (S.S, pg. 453). Friar Lawrence quoted that he would help Juliet fake her death. This is why Friar Lawrence is the one to blame for causing the most trouble in Romeo and Juliet. Yes, there are many other characters in the story to blame, but Friar Lawrence helped with a series of events that led to Juliet's death.
Juliet shortly after killed herself even after Friar Lawrence getting there and trying to get her to come with him so she could be safe (Shakespeare 227). The final evidence is on (Shakespeare 233) when Friar Lawrence admits that he is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and his sweet Juliet. This why I believe that Friar Lawrence should take most of the responsibility for what happened on this tragic
